It's much more a classical album rather than jazz. A blend of original compositions and respectful reworkings of timeless classics from Bach, Bartok, Villalobos, Mompov, and Segovia, the collection – which features stellar guest performances by opera star Renee Fleming, violinist Gil Shaham, and cellist Julian Lloyd-Webber – finds Ritenour and Grusin joyously reconnecting with their rich classical roots.

A rich combination of blues talent and spice assembled in West Hollywood in June 1995 for Live From The House Of Blues, a spectacular display of collaborations with equally impressive names from the blues scene. John Lee Hooker's own Daughter Zakiya opened the event backed by the Duke Robillard Band. Added to the day's event was a prized collection of genial giants in Charlie Musselwhite, Taj Mahal, Ry Cooder, John Hammond, Lazy Lester and of course, the boom, boom blues of the legendary John Lee Hooker. Duke Robillard s band offered a prominent backing for most of the guests and sealed the day with Ry Cooder's subliminal workout alongside Hooker for his signature R&B Boom, Boom. Klondike proudly presents the entire WLUP-FM broadcast of Live At The House Of Blues, a gathering of genial blues giants and friends of John Lee Hooker.

Known to fans as "Captain Fingers" for his uncommon dexterity on the guitar, Lee Ritenour is a noted jazz artist and session musician who has been one of the leaders in his field since the early '70s. Born in Los Angeles, California on January 11, 1952, Ritenour took up the guitar when he was eight years old, and decided to make music his career when he was 12. Ritenour's parents were supportive of his ambitions, and arranged for him to study with some of the best guitar teachers in Southern California.

A superb Soundboard or FM broadcast featuring the mighty Montrose, a fantastic American 70's hard rock band featuring Ronnie Montrose and Sammy Hagar. The performance venue is confirmed from band banter heard between tracks, as is the personnel.The concert does not appear to have a live audience (due to lack of any applause) and resembles a band playing a warm up session in preparation for an upcoming gig.The performance is amazing, as is the sound quality and I was so pleased to get my hands on the CD back in the 90's, as Montrose live material is as rare has Rocking Horse Sh*t. Somehow this band didn't seem to get the recognition they deserve despite delivering one of the all time great debut albums "Montrose" on Warner Bros.

Two jazz giants closed out this year's festival, Lee Ritenour, a living guitar legend, with more than three thousand recording sessions, a one time Grammy Award winner and nineteen time nominee; and Dave Grusin, pianist and composer extraordinaire, winner of 7 Grammy Awards. Recorded at XVII Festival Internacional Jazz San Javier August 5, 2014, Auditorio Parque Almansa.

Brian Setzer's Rockabilly Riot! Live from the Planet compiles concert recordings Setzer made while on the Rockabilly Riot! tour in 2011 and 2012. Included are performances from such diverse locales as Japan, Sweden, Australia, and, of course, the United States. Although Setzer made his biggest comeback since his '80s Stray Cats days with his big band the Brian Setzer Orchestra, he has often returned to the more intimate, but no less rocking, small-group rockabilly and country sound.

Seven Davis Jr returns to his underground Soulful and House roots while fusing flavors from various era's in this uptempo sophomore album. "Live From The Other Side", plays like the soundtrack to a lovely weekend with visual designs inspired by underground festival culture and contemporary art. Dedicated to his fans, Sev hopes this album will conjure up good vibes and enhance sessions, from living room to club, for generations.

Double-Grammy winner Travis Tritt is slated to release a new double-disc live album and DVD, A Man and His Guitar: Live From the Franklin Theatre, on Nov. 18. The new 24-song offering was recorded and shot at the historic Franklin Theatre in Franklin, Tenn., in 2013 and features Travis performing an unplugged concert that gives fans the opportunity to hear fresh takes on No. 1 hits “Help Me Hold One,” “Best of Intentions” and “Anymore,” as well as crowd-pleasers like “Here’s a Quarter” and “T-R-O-U-B-L-E.” In addition to performing a number of cover songs, including Johnny Cash’s “I Walk the Line” and Waylon Jennings’ “Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way,” Travis is joined onstage by both Marty Stuart and James Otto for performances of “Whiskey Ain’t Working” and “Lord Have Mercy on the Working Man,” respectively.
